This coming Saturday, January 21st, will be the last Saturday that we have smoked chickens at the Acres co-op. We should still have eggs for the rest of the winter but those wonderful, moist, delicious smoked birds are all but gone. 16 left to bring. 16 left to enjoy. Thanks for buying so many of our birds that we sold out a month or so faster than we would have thought. We'll try to sell eggs through the rest of the winter.

We're prepping the grounds for the spring. Unusually warm December made it easy to get a jump on next season. Replacing some sleds with a new hoop / sled hybrid design, getting the back field mowed down, looking in to buying a very special breed of pig (more on that later).  Mmmm... Local Chicken....

Our CSA has sold out for 2012. Check the website or email us of you need some chickens, we usually have a couple that don't get claimed but it's hit or miss.

Lightning Tree Farms is a USDA certified organic feed mill in Millbrook.  We've been using the Blue Seal organic feed, but wanted to help support a local grower / mill.  And Al's a very nice guy as well.

Our chickens are raised in the fields of Spencertown. Their diet consists of approximately 20% grass, bugs, seeds, worms and anything else they happen to forage. The remaining 80% of their diets consist of USDA organic chicken feed, now supplied by Lightning Tree Farms - one of three certified organic feed producers in NYS.

We grow chickens that we want to eat. We think that a happy chicken is a tasty chicken.
